East Yorkshire - coast at Bridlington & some little villages

21st March 2009

It was going to be a sunny day so we headed toward the East Yorkshire Coast to the town of Bridlington - about 1 1/2 hours from where we live. We had been there a few years ago but not when the sun was out nor the tide in, so I was anxious to see the sea with a blue sky! smile

We first stopped in the town of Market Weighton and had a walk around. I went in a charity shop and found me some cute sheep notecards & stationery for 50p. smile

Then on to Bridlington but we almost didn't find a parking place in any car park because we got there at about 11:00 so already lots of people there, and there were several car parks, but finally we did find a spot and had a little ways to walk, but that was ok. We walked through the town centre and down to the harbour and got some fried scampi & chips, found a bench and enjoyed our lunch. After we had been there a while, looked in some shops and enjoyed the sea views, we left heading back home the way we came, but we took some side roads and stopped in 4 little villages to have a roam around and take some photos.

I have written under each photo describing it, so just click on the first thumbnail photo and then click NEXT each time, because with the Slideshow you won't have time to look at the photo well and also read all of what I've wirtten about some of the photos. Hope you enjoy your day out with us in East Yorkshire.
